    Question 3D exportation

    Is a 3D format for exportation envisageable in Xara Extreme ?

    I mean file as .obj, .3DS or .skp for google SketchUp ?

    I would say it is very unlikely.

    In a 3D application you can import a vector (usually in .ai format) and use the 3D tools to convert it to an extrusion or lathe object.

    Expecting a vector program to support true 3D objects isn't very realistic. Not even Adobe has provided that support and they have more money to spend on esoteric features.

    I say that because Xara has already 3D capabilities

    Actually it does not have 3D capabilities as used in 3D applications.

    Xara creates a bitmap extrusion of a vector shape, not a true 3D object.

    you can import vectors from SketchUp Pro I believe, other members have mentioned it - if you do a search it of the forum it should bring up a reference - possibly you need to export as PDF, but I am not certain
